A Merlot that is deep ruby-red in color and very fruity, ripe, and intense on the nose with a predominance of red fruit notes such as strawberries and ripe cherries. Black currants and candied fruit also appear on the palate, where the very well-integrated oak contributes notes of toast, toffee, fresh-ground coffee, tobacco, and vanilla. The palate is well balanced with a certain creaminess and very pleasing volume. Long, pleasing finish. A perfect match with sausages and stews. Drink now to 2020+.
